What does a broken rib feel like?
Hi,
For the past 2 days I thought I pulled a muscle in my left side but today it is so much worse and now doesn't feel like a pulled muscle anymore. Last night I had to sleep on my stomach as I was getting really sharp pains, it hurts when I breath, cough, laugh, burp anything. I'm starting to wonder if I have broken a rib but I've done nothing that would have caused this. Today it is so tender I can't even touch the area and it doesn't help that I have to carry DD around as she is not walking yet. I should probably go to the doctor but I know that even if it is a broken rib there is really nothing that can be done. Just wondering if anyone has had a broken rib, what does it feel like?
Regards,
Dianne
